Padres Make Offensive History In Win Over Arizona On Saturday

For just the second time in the history of Petco Park, the San Diego Padres have scored 10 or more runs in two straight games. Before taking the first two games of their series against the Arizona Diamondbacks by scores of 10-3 and 13-1, the Padres were on a five-game losing streak. For a team whose offense ranked eighth in Major League Baseball (4.64 runs per game) over the season's first 48 games, the struggle was new. Over the past 18 games, the Padres only averaged 3.39 runs per game — 27th in MLB.
